Fedora Core 4: 2006-701 Critical: Rsync Software Update

fedora
Calendar Grey June 12, 2006
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Crucial enhancement for rsync integrating numerous patches for Fedora Core 4, aimed at streamlining file transfer processes.
Updated package.

Summary

Rsync uses a reliable algorithm to bring remote and host files into

sync very quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences

in the files over the network instead of sending the complete

files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or

just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical

report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this

package.

- Add my xattrs_bug patch to fix a bug where xattrs don't get sent correctly.

- Add BuildRequires to make sure libattr-devel and libacl-devel are avaliable

- replace --with... with --enable... so they actually work

- Add make, autoconf and gcc to BuildRequires
